Hannity bashes Free Republic (February 2005)

[1Old Pro]

Just now on his radio show...says we taken over by fringe people

listen to the audio

[writer33]

I liked Let Freedom Ring -- liked it a lot.

So did I.

[fanfan]

big fan of 37 40 43

Presidents.

I wondered at first too.Lol.

[G.Mason]

Hannity whumping and lumping Freepers

[embedded_rebel]

"Naaaah, he's just showing off his "intellectual honesty"."

hannity and "intellectual"

ROFLMAO

First time I came here..one of the first posts I read was the sainted "Deb" carving up some poor schmuck...she sure had a way with her..I was almost afraid to touch the keyboard

[Conservababe]

I hope Sean has made enough money in investments to keep his wife in the style she has become accustomed.

The man is rolling in money, yet tries to portray himself as a "poor boy". Rush and Boortz do not try to hid the fact that they are rich. And why should they?

[nopardons]

I damned near fell on the floor laughing,when I saw you post that TODD is posting to Sean's site! ROTFLOL

And he claimed that his site would be "free of the fringe"? *giggle*

[Landru]

"I had a friend tell me Sean was no good...AND I defended him!"

He was a "friend", right?
Well friends don't lie to friends, Angel.

"Shoot! I hate being wrong!"

How else do you learn?
If you must hate something, hate admitting it.
But always *love* learning.

"What is the deal with Sean's love/ hate relationship with FR anyway?"

Don't know.
Could tell you of mine, but this isn't about me.

And as for Hannity?
Hell's bells Diva, he's just an ordinary run of the mill pedestrian type.

...flake.

[stockpirate]

I find it interesting tha he would make such a dumb comment. If he hasn't signed on in two years how in the heck could he know if we have been taken over during that time period? DUH

[k2blader]

What childish posts?

Not to mention, said childish posts "prove" FR is being taken over by "fringe people"??

[Cold Heat]

LOL! Sounds familiar.

[Hard Way]

Dang, no I missed it (probably 'cause I've pretty much tuned out Bill O').

It does seem though, that Laura Ingraham is one of the few mentioned on this thread that nobody has tossed a dart at. Hmmm... maybe SHE is the one who shall carry the mantra if Rush moves on.

Well Todd said he was going to leave

But he made another post .. so we shall see .. LOL

[LowInMo]

You are quite correct. Although I listen to Savage occasionally, it is for entertainment only. He really is a "WHACKJOB".

[nopardons]

Funny idea,but he would then catch on and rail against us even more. Just let TODD and the other banned FREEPERS post and make his site look like a zoo! :-)

[humblegunner]

Todd is posting to Hannity's web site?

Only around the fringes.

[Wormwood]

In all honesty, are Talk Radio's best days behind it?

Looking at the current crop, I sometimes feel that way.

[Jeff Head]

He didn't have to come out and say that he was a wildly enthusiastic member of FR or anything like that. He could have simply pointed out the fact that FR is a site where all types of ideas a thrashed about...and where a significant number of people, who are watching the news and analyzing it come together every day and sometimes out and scoop the main stream...while being conservative in the process. He could have then pointed out whatever differences in his own site and thereby steered people towards his site without offending his own audience on FR.

I have been around FR a long time. Have seen the flame wars, the internal bickering and purges, etc., etc. Despite all of that...in its form and substance it is still the most informative conservative site on the web, and the best place to work with others to plan activism events, or to discuss issues of the day.

I know a lot of detractors and those who have either been banned or left (and I have been banned twice myself) will disagree...and that's fine, they are entitled to their opinion. Just as I am to mine, and I think they are wrong and in toomany cases look for rumors and conspiraciesand almost anything to justify their own feelings of anger, hurt, embarrassment, whatever because JR for whatever reason showed them the door.

Having said all of that, nno site is going to have a good mix of discussion, current news, activism, etc. without sifting through a lot of ideas in the process. Sometimes they are too outlandish for JR, and since it is his site, he is entitled as the owner to take those out as he pleases. But all in all, I believe the points I have made still stand...and Hannity was eating his own himself when he sought to boost his own site in the manner in which he did. But, that's just my opinion on the issue, clearly, others have varying opinions.
